I'm bringing my car in Wednesday for the same issue, 36k miles. It has always dropped in level since I've owned it but now when hot I smell coolant at the front of the engine. I always smelled a faint amount near the turbo but now it's really strong. No visible leaks.
I also have an oil leak at the PCV so we'll see if that's covered. I had my advisor write up a ticket already and got it in under the BtoB warranty, 35,930 miles.
It's probably powertrain and I've still got the CPO warranty but just in case.

Have them pressure test the cap.

Just got my car back. Pressure test showed no leaks. Comments say that “slight loss is normal with turbo engine”. At least it’s documented now.

My dude I have a 1.8t vw golf 2017 within 4 months or less I changd thermostat housing twice under warranty, where ur coolant level is at mine was beyond bowl half empty... I am assuming every golf has this cancer just not as bad as me? Oh and I am at 75.5 k mileage right now.I’m at 25k miles on a 2016 I haven’t touched the coolant. I remember it being much higher than that. Car is completely cold right now if that makes any difference.
